Outstanding November 27, 2009

I bought my first forecloser home, and it was a mess. I had a lot of restructure work to do. I could see buying a air nailer was a must. I shopped all over the stores local and found them to be very expensive. As usual I went back to Amazon and found this model, it was only 8 Lbs and the price was good and I liked the reviews it had. The shipping was great I received it with in 2 days. This nailer is outstanding! very light weight and it has never ever mis-fired or jammed, I have put it through a lot of work the last cople of months. Thanks Amozon for doing what you do and selling great products at a fair price.
 Good gun, lacking a few features October 24, 2009

Well, I bought this gun based on the good reviews and the low price. On the positive side, it seems to work well with grip-rite nails from HD. I'll try the paslode offset nails as another reviewer suggested, but they are much more expensive. I like the three position lock/single fire/bump fire selector rather than having to change out triggers like some nailers. It seems well made and comes with a rubber nosepiece in a holder on the nail rack. I have not used it much at this point, but I'm sure it will hold up well.
Here are my gripes:
1.A rafter hook would be nice, but this is not a dealbreaker.
2.Heavy. I'm guessing this is an aluminum gun, which is why it weighs 8.4lbs, whereas many of the other guns are in the mid to high 7lbs. That .5-1lb doesn't sound like much, but believe it or not, you can feel it. Again, not a dealbreaker, but if you are going to be using this daily, you may want a magnesium gun.
3.The shape if the metal nose is such that it can dig in for a toenail very well at certain angles and not so well at others. It has four large blunt bits of metal and three small sharp ones. I would rather have seen a consistent "crown" shape so that I would not have to think about catching the little hooks just right when I toenail.
4. Lastly, and this is not a big deal, there is a large piece of plastic on the side of the front of the gun. I'd just rather not see pieces of plastic on a framing nailer.
I don't mean this review to sound totally negative, but if this gun hadn't been a bargain, I might have been disappointed. For the price, I think it is a good value.

It came without the hose connection (it was not missing a part, standard delivered configuration is supply your own) so I had to go to a bit of trouble to find a suitable coupling. I do not have a ready source of Makita 31º clipped head nails so I had to find a substitute. I was able to determine that Passload makes full head collated nails that will work well.
Once I got the issues sorted out the nailer worked fine. No trouble, great results. I have not had any other framing nailer or much history on this nailer yet so I can't speak to long term reliability but I am very satisfied so far.
I got the hose coupling at my local Makita repair shop. The fellow behind the counter said this nailer is no longer being produced. This is an older discontinued model. If you find one for sale it is from someone's inventory. He was willing to assert that I got a good deal as Makita makes a great nailer generally, this one included. He also said he would have no trouble getting parts and repairing it if I ever had any problems.
Overall, recommended.
Nice gun and very inexpensive December 26, 2007

I think Makita has a higher priced model than this one but I am satisfied with this one. I 'ditto' the other reviews on it's lightness and power. It seems to be more powerful than my Max expensive gun that shoots wire collated nails (Bostich types). I like the paper collated Senco type nails. My old Senco was also about as powerful as this one but not nearly as light.
There is so far after a few monthes one downside: This gun doesn't have a jam removal opening at the top of gun where the nail is shot (barrel?) Like most other guns out there. I am pleased to report that it rarely jams but when it does you'll probably need other tools such as pliers or just prying the jammed nail with your hammer claws..which seems risky to the future of the tool. But it is so tough nothing has bent as a result of the jammed nails being stuck to the nail and receiving wood. The manual is very useless on this problem but I looked up Makita's manual for the higher priced model which also doesn't have a jammed nail removal "gate" and it suggested that pliers and a pin to push back nail gun piston into it's cylander is the way to fix jams. So next time I'll keep that in mind. 1) push pin back into gun (after disconnecting gun) 2) pull jammed nail out with pliers or vice grips...
very tough gun and I recommend their smaller compressors...very tough and reliable too.

Good quality nail gun, I've used Paslodes the pass few years, I'm sick of running to the store for fuel. This is a nice choice.
